OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.10.0

[Globalm]

Hi.  Complete n00b here!

I have searched but may not be specifying the correct terminology so apologies in advance.

I am attempting to run cgminer under Windows 7 to mine Maxcoin using my GPU (AMD 6770).

Cgminer starts for a couple of seconds and then dies.  Log output is as follows

Can anyone shed any light on this problem or suggest further diagnostics.  All drivers are up to date.

Many thanks.

MaxCoin uses SHA-3, cgminer does not.

Thanks for that.

Cgminer command line reads

cgminer.exe --keccak --no-submit-stale -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u MyPasswordGoesHere -p x -I 9 -D 2>c:\temp\cgminer.log

I understood that SHA-3 and keccak were, effectively, the same.  If this is wrong then the advice in many places that cgminer 3.7.3 is suitable for Maxcoin mining must be incorrect.  It is often downloadable as a .zip called 'cgminer3.7.3_maxcoin.zip'.

Seems strange!

Any recomendations for a suitable GPU miner for Maxcoin?

Thanks again.

You are not using cgminer.
There is no --keccak in cgminer.
You are downloading a version from someone else.
Who knows what is in that binary .............

Got it.

I found this in Github (part of README for this)

"This is a modified cgminer software for Maxcoin stratum mining."

The author is someone called 'Reorder'.

I guess I need to seek help elsewhere.

Thanks.

Con / Kano:

What is the situation with Cointerra?  Did they provide test hardware / arrange for driver development in cgminer? 

I'm eager to get these machines consolidated on one instance of cgminer running on decent hardware rather than a bunch of beaglebone controllers.

Cointerra developed the communication protocol entirely based on my discussions with them and the driver for cgminer I wrote completely. Once hardware is in regular customers' hands I will push the driver to the master cgminer code. They are straight forward USB devices that are connected to a beaglebone black for standalone operation but you can unplug the beaglebone and plug a regular PC into their USB. I personally do not have any hardware yet, as I have only worked on them remotely.

There are in customer hands at this point.  It looks like there is some work needed on stability at least.

Let me know if you need access to multiple systems for testing.

trying to use an older 3.72 version with my imac in built gpu put a srypct server in mining like sha256 where is config how do i change what its doing looked in appsupport nothing please help
how do i flip to scrypt mining running 10.6.8
help please

[jimjam1210]

found config file in a hidden file in users /.cgminer/cgminer.config still wont run scrpt can any one send me an example config that will work as i ahve tried what i know and still doin mh in kh weird

Cointerra driver now merged into the cgminer master code. Numerous generic fixes from cgminer itself likely are in the cgminer master code based on cgminer 3.12.3 that are not in the standalone software released with the hardware in the beaglebone black. Without actual hardware it is distinctly possible there are bugs I have been unable to reproduce and debug so far, so if you wish to give me access to hardware to mine with it to test the software, please pm me.

Please take this elsewhere.
cgminer has no GPU or alt-coin code in it.
Only old unsupported versions do.

i have asic blade 10.7 GHS i want mining in site www.cex.io -what do I do ?

find a correct thread to post in - this has nothing whatever to do with cgminer

dude when the post was made it said mac osx / linux / pc

it might be an older version but thread still relevant who can help me with config ?

The latest Antminer S1 firmware uses CGMiner 3.12.0

Everything in general is running fine, but the API is spitting out something interesting/troubling.

When I hit the API with the command "pools" I get this for the Last Share Time:

Code:

"Last Share Time": "0:00:01",

For the API command "devs", I get this for Last Share Time:

Code:

"Last Share Time": 1392294615,

My miner-dashboard expects the output for Last Share Time like it is in devs not like how it is in pools.
Unfortunately it relies on the pools command to display all the pools I have configured including the last share submitted.

This is what it looks like:


Older versions of CGMiner (like this old 3.2.1 for GPU Scrypt mining... I know I know...) works fine and looks like this:



So... bug? Something inherent in Antminer's S1 Implementation (which btw has the correct time/date via NTP in the Web Interface and when I SSH in and get the date)?

Hey Guys,

I'm using cgminer 3.7.2 right now and found out that there are a number of new releases since I set it up

I have a noob question:

My problem is that I have no idea how to upgrade it. I have the gpu_mine.bat file on my desktop and I left that one but replaced the whole miner map with the 3.12.3... without success, cgminer closes seconds after it started. How can I make this work or what am I doing wrong?


Thanks in advance

CGMiner supports only ASIC's and Bitcoin going forward.  No GPU support since 3.7.2.

Hi,

I have soldered Ants @ 1,088V. Did have some problems with bfgminer and because of that tested the new release of cgminer.


I tested every single Antminer with my Notebook Win7 and CGminer 3.12.3.

One Stick threw HW error during startup. But ran fine then. I got 2,8 Ghash out of every Stick. About one third did 3Ghash without problems (no HW error). So my new goal is getting all together @ 2,8 Ghash.

Tried CGminer 3.12.3 (http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.12.3.tar.bz2) on my Pi with the 49 Port hub. It told me not supporting the "--anu-freq 350" parameter. Is this not supported for the pi/linux?

Then  I tried the 49- Port Hub (pluged in all 16 Ants) with my Windows notebook. Only got lots of errors, saying it could not detect and "wrong device?"

Then I tried a single Ant at the 49 port hub. Worked without probems. Pluged in the second Ant - worked fine. Pluged in the third Ant and cgminer could not detect it and did not detect any further Ant. Tried that several times but never got more then 4 Ants working. I noticed that the LED (which is normally flashing when the Ant is hashing) is on (not flashing) for a few seconds on those Ants which did not get detected.

Looks for me like CGminer has sometime problems during initalization and is then not able to detect further Ants. Does that make sense?

I am crosposting that over at the Antminer Tips and Tricks thread.
